I am Ariel and they are my Flounder

Laughter, love, friendship, fun, randomness, spontaneous, cuddle partner, shoulder to cry on, dance parties, late nights, movies, cooking, Oreo interrogation, sleep overs, screaming at the top of our lungs, hugs, understanding, compassion, the person I vent to, boy talk(of course), healers, helpers, fort builders, kind, and trusting. These are the words I use to describe some of my best friends...my roommates.

I have to be the luckiest girl and here is why:

This sweet girl has been my roommate for 3 years. Yes, she has put up with me that long, shocking haha

She has been there for me through it all. First time I saw her cry was the day my boyfriend and I broke up and she was crying with me. When we were mad at boys,

 we would sit on our beds yelling out the window. We are 

a little ridiculous but I love the way we are and can be when we are together. She made me realize

it really isn't that bad living with all girls. I will be forever grateful

for her in my life. This is my sleeping buddy, Sage <3

Oh man where to start....

Well first off this is a typical picture of us and I love it. I love the her to death! I honestly have

no idea where I would be without her. She was there for me through the thick and the thin. She always has the best advice for me and always knows what to say. She can get anything out of me haha.

I am not sure if that is good or bad...She listens to me when I am crying, usually

over something dumb, or when I have stupid boy stories. She also helps me with whatever, including papers.

I will always be indebted to her. My dear friend, Shaunzi <3

Ok, I won't lie, at first we didn't really get along. But now that I have gotten to know her

I have realized that she was put into my life for a reason. I love this girl. She has taught me so much

and she is so strong. Its amazing how someone going through a tough time

can keep it to themselves and you would never guess something was wrong.I don't know what I would do without her. She puts a little spunk into my life and i LOVE it. My cuddle buddy, Brooke <3

This last summer Shaunzi called me, and immediately we were on facebook stalking our two new roommates. This happens to be one of them :)  I am so lucky to have this girl in my apartment. She is the

one I can rough house a little with. I swear she knows everything about every TV or movie ever made.

She is always looking out for others and always super cheerful. You can bet if I am

laying on the couch that my peace will soon be interrupted by her jumping on me. I honestly don't mind, I secretly love it...that is until it hurts haha just kidding. My Emily <3

Now this is the other girl Shaunzi and I stalked haha. I remember thinking oh she looks so fun!

I recall the first time we met she came up to me and gave me a huge hug. After that I knew this year was going to be the best. She has to be one of the loudest in our apartment and I love it.

There is never a dull moment when she is around and if you want to stay up til 3 or 4 or 5 she is the

one that will do it with you no questions asked. She is incredible and loving. My excitement, Brooklin <3

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present...my cohorts...my partners in crime.

These are my roommates, my best friends, my sisters, my soul mates. I have no idea where I would be without them. They are all incredible in there own way and together we make a wonderful fruit salad.

haha don't ask me why I just compared us to a fruit salad...its late. But I just want to thank them for everything they do and will do for me. They are the sweetest, most beautiful girls

here at Utah State.

And they are the reason I am the Luckiest. Love you all!
